I was responding to Pete's answer which mentioned triplets. You have a time signature of 3/8 with 3 eighth notes to the bar. If you wanted to notate this as triplets and have an equivalent result, you could change to the weird time signature of 1/4 and have one eight note triplet per bar. While this is technically true, no one does an entire piece in 1/4. It is used for adding in extra beats here or there.
